how it looks...

...when you don't feel well in our house.

She has bronchitis. A fever. She's tired. She hurts from coughing.

She's ready to feel better. She misses school.

Not this week, but she does plan to be back on Monday.

a picture just for you

Emma is home from school today - a little too much coughing last night and a little fever this morning. She rested most of the morning, watched a new "Olivia" show, made a bag for Sophie (this consists of cutting out some rectangles from a piece of my fabric, gluing the sides and bottom together, and adding a strap. She also cut out a heart of different fabric and glued it to the center), helped clean up the sewing room, and did some art. This is the art. She handed it to me and said it was for her grandparents. I asked her which grandparents and she said "all of them". Smart girl. :-) I love how happy and beautiful the colors are. She is definitely a winter baby, but she has spring in her soul.

I love that I can do this now - since we have a printer/copy/scanner that is.

My girl...

She stayed home sick on Friday. She didn't even care - that's how bad she felt. She's usually pretty insistent about school. This is all she ate for the whole day. It's a sandwich made with peanut butter on one slice and nutella on the other slice. Smooshed together. I say, go for it. I am certain the jelly version has tons more sugar. Anyhow, it certainly doesn't sound like the kind of food a sick person would want. It is what she asked for though. And, she ate it.
